THE WHITE WINDOW by JAMES STEPHENS

First Line: THE MOON COMES EVERY NIGHT TO PEEP
Last Line: -- AND SHE NEVER MAKES A SOUND!
Subject(s): MOON;

The Moon comes every night to peep
Through the window where I lie:
But I pretend to be asleep;
And watch the Moon go slowly by,
-- And she never makes a sound!

She stands and stares! And then she goes
To the house that's next to me,
Stealing by on tippy-toes;
To peep at folk asleep maybe
-- And she never makes a sound!
